Political Compass

[idesign]

I'm a little off from you guys.

I was dead 0.00 on the social aspects, and +2 on the economic. Its a fun exercise, and I really thought I'd be

further right on both.

I'm a

little off.

You could have stopped right there

[idesign]

Why state the

obvious????

OTOH, I stand on my offal, even if it stinks to some.

I'd really love to see my perfume and

political pal DST take this test. Could be a fun comparison Doc, you out there?

[belgareth]

Why state more than necessary?



Yeah, Doc! Please take the test and tell us where you stand. It would be interesting.

I was actually

surprised at my results in some ways because I have always felt that government is more a burden than anything else

and have yet to find any real purpose for the vast majority of it. More than anything, the function of government is

self perpetuation which is done through lies and propoganda.

And where is KoolKing? Come out

of the woodwork fella, you're always good for some reliable commentary.

Economic

Left/Right: -6.62
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.87

So that puts me slightly more libertarian

and left than the Dalai Lama. I guess I should be happy with that. Well hello, Dali, oh hello, Dali...

But this

test is obviously useless if it shows me and Bel in the same quad. I demand a recount. Ironically, I might be

more libertarian than Bel, which is pretty bad. That's like being more authoritarian than Atilla the Hun. Who

wins, Bel? I mean I know you always win, but who wins?

I'd really hate to meet the upper right guy who thinks

multinational corporations should beat his kids like nappy headed stepchildren.

I don't know about idesign being

in the middle of the road on everything. Maybe he's a left winger locked insider a right winger, a veritable

cornicopia of contrast, the iron sheik of irony. But middle of the road? Too much traffic. Maybe idesign owns the

road and can get away with it.

It does seem a bit skewed,

doesn't it?

Come on now, doc. We may disagree in many areas but I have taken a lot from what you have argued

over the years. That you don't seem to understand where I stand is always an issue. I can stand outside and watch

and have opinions about what others do. But unless somebody is directly impacting my areas of rights and

responsibility I will do nothing other than watch and form opinions. I have no right whatsoever to force any change

on another person so long as they grant me the same courtesy. By the same token, I believe you are entitled to

believe any way you like, so long as you do not try to force me to believe or act in the same manner. Personal

rights and responsibility for ones actions is the very core from where I do everything. Often I embrace other

thoughts and idea so long as they do not ty to change that core belief. Is there some form of winning or losing in

that stance? Not from my perspective but possibly from the perspective of one who would try to force changes or

their beliefs on me. I'm not competing with anybody so cannot win or lose.

Funny

comments Doc! For the sake of controversy, I can definitely see you and Bel in the same quadrant, but also

definitely see the manner of degree in which you differ.

Bel only seems to win because he's immovable. Kind

of like the statue of liberty before the apocalypse. You're the anti-apocalypse, trying to arrest the sinking sand

by force of idea. Winning and losing is not much of an issue now. Waiting is the new optimism.

You're right

Doc, I'm a Porsche motor stuck in a Honda Civic. Neither one of those is happy right now.
